Spring Training photos: Tuesday's Intrasquad Game

The Royals are gearing up for the spring slate with a pair of intrasquad games. Tuesday’s highlights included David DeJesus going 3-for-3, Rick Ankiel hitting two home runs and Aaron Crow throwing two scoreless frames. Here are some photos:

This was a great sight – Mike Aviles is back in game action after having Tommy John surgery last season!

Here is Ankiel crossing the plate after his first home run. He later went back-to-back with Alberto Callaspo.

Crow, who debuted in the Arizona Fall League, made a strong first impression.

Players and coaches gathered around Trey Hillman to talk about the game.
